Also the deepest discounts were on the Lightning version, which is not the same.
It's unclear whether there's any physical difference in components, or if it's simply a software lockdown by Apple. Aside from the lossless issue, the USB-C versions also have dust proofing that the lightning version doesn't offer (IP54 rating instead of IPX4) & are capable of reverse charging USB-C devices (like the iPhone 15) though the batteries are so small I think that's pretty limited in value.
USB-C is of course more universally supported and future proof as well now that lightning is essentially going extinct, but the average lifespan for most AirPods is probably in the 2-3 years so also probably not a huge issue for the current generation of devices. To be clear, not saying they can't or won't last longer (I have a pair of AirPods from 2020 that are still working perfectly fine, aside from reduced battery life), but the batteries are so tiny on these that I think most people likely end up replacing them for something newer / better within that window.

I actually bought these yesterday at retail, and went back to get a price adjustment today.
